Jim Scotti's Skeptic & Atheist Links

There is a lot of huey spewed out by humanity. Identifying the worthwhile on the web is a challenge for anyone, but the tools of science and skepticism allow us to posess a coherent worldview unencumbered by the hocus pocus, make believe, deceit, fearmongering and wishful thinking expounded by contemporary religions and pseudosciences. Hopefully some of these websites will give the would be skeptic some of the tools he or she needs to sort out the world around them.

And in case you'd like some examples of some sites which do not excercise the tools of skepticism, try out some of these. The Moon Landings were Faked (TMLWF) sites are some examples of sites claiming to be skeptical, but which fall far short of properly using the skeptics toolkit properly. For a treatment of one such site, see my own rebutal page.

Art Bell Coast to Coast - I don't need to say much about Art Bell and his cronies.
Zetatalk - Nancy and her fictional Zetas (and I think I'm even featured under some of the "sci.astro Debates", though I haven't looked through all of Nancy's archives.) Nancy mis-uses the tools of science and skepticism as well as anyone, making claims which she attributes to her "Zetas" (tm) which don't stand up to the scrutiny of science, despite what she says.
N.A.S.A. Numerous Anomalies and Scams Allowed - A prime example of a TMLWF site, see a more complete collection under my space links.
